I think 4 players in an IPL game is too less because many IPL teams have got ten foreign(Overseas) Players for many money and of course when You allow only four Overseas Players to play in a game many Overseas players does not get a chance.So what is your opinion in it.

If IPL is seen as a platform to give exposure to Indian talent then 4 is just the right number for foreign players. Many teams have round about 10 overseas players so as to keep a few while others are busy with their national duties.

No, definitely not. I think 4 players is good enough. This gives great chance for Indian players to play alongwith champions from other countries and helps in their grooming. So I will definitely not change this rule.

I don't think more than four players are needed for a side in the final XI because if we get too much dependent on the foreign players then it would affect much. However, our local players who don't get much chances other than playing Ranji trophy, Duleep trophy and some other local Indian tournament to get the attention of the national selectors may prove their worth from IPL. Why would we give much chances to the foreigners ? Our players' talent are very very good. Does any country has another talent like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, MS Dhoni or Yuvraj Singh ? So four overseas players are absolutely fine in the XI of each IPL teams.
